Vietnam with intro was such an incredible experience thanks to our fantastic leader Michelle! Honourable mention to Jas and Tim as leaders-in-training who will be amazing. The whole trip was so enjoyable and engaging, and I genuinely cant remember the last time I had that much fun. Michelle was amazing in any scenario thrown her way, and nothing was ever too big of an issue to solve! I consistently felt so safe and reassured with the team. From cultural experiences of war tunnels and walking tours to incredible boat rides and fun nights out this has been one of the best holidays of my life. I would absolutely recommend to anyone solo travelling because you will meet such amazing people along the way. I wish I could do it all over again!
This 2 day itinerary starts out in Hanoi and includes a night stay in a Bungalow in the beautiful location of Tam Coc. Due to the smaller scope, this tour is perfect for independent travellers looking for a guide for a part of their trip through Vietnam, which is bar none the best way to explore this beautiful destination! There is more to do in Ninh Binh than we can cover in two days, but in this tour we focus o giving you enough time to truly appreciate and immerse yourself with the beautiful surroundings.
We had a long holiday and relax in the beach of Phu Quoc Island. One of the best tours that I’ve been. Great experience, we got more than what we paid for.
The service was excellent, our tour guide was so knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommend, will definitely choose them again - Thank you!

I just finished a month long of travelling with Intro Travel Thailand and Vietnam legs.
I really enjoyed the tours and the activities that were offered as well as the opportunity to meet some amazing people (both guests and group leaders) from all walks of life and around the world. In short, this experience was life-altering and has shaped my cultural understanding of Thailand and Vietnam as a whole.
In particular, I want to give a shoutout to my Vietnam group leader, Danny. He was truly amazing and catered to all your needs as a friend first then a group leader after, AND I WAS NEEDY ‚.
P.S, Rhi (My group leader from Thailand) was amazing too when I was feeling homesick and down!
